How salary is converted to hourly pay

Annual salary is divided by hours worked each week multiplied by working weeks per year. For example, the default uses 37.5 hours over 52 weeks.

Gross rate vs after-tax income

The gross conversion does not include tax. The separate net estimate feeds annual gross salary into the same tax engine as the main calculator, then divides take-home pay by your annual working hours.
